[Political Junkie Too]

I found this post of mine from earlier in the Friday thread:

The pattern that I see emerging is for Democrats to knock Republicans out of races after filing deadlines in order to run unopposed.

The US Supreme Court refused to step into the New Jersey case with Torricelli, calling it a state issue. Now we have Democrats forcing DeLay to stay on the ballot when he's not running, and presumably they'll do the same thing with Foley. We'll see what happens with Menendez in NJ.

At some point the Supreme Court will have to stop this tactic.

This is where my suspicions started tingling the senses.

I wish I could figure out how to research what I have suspicions about.

Foley's oppnent has raised MUCH MORE MONEY than a democrat should be able to raise in a supposedly safe disctrict. And John Kerry showed up to campaign for the guy on Saturday (quite a coincidence, huh?).

It would not surprise me to find that there are several supposedly safe Republican seats which suddenly have well-funded democrat opponents. If we could find those districts, we could spot where the next bombshell will be thrown.
